Heya Fellowship ĺí
You Empower a Woman, You Empower A Generation
Morocco, 09-13 April 2016
In the last few years, the Arab region has been
witnessing violence, revolutions, conflicts, terrorism and wars that are
eventually leading to other political, sectarian, religious and economic
crises.
Women and men, girls and boys, are affected by conflicts
, yet women in particular are more vulnerable and far more influential. Women
have the potential to make meaningful contributions as changemakers and leaders
but they often lack the means to harness that potential.
They long for meaningful work but maybe don't know how to
focus their energy and effectively impact their societies in the time of
crisis. They shall see the current chaos as a great gift and opportunity to
rethink, reconnect, and reinvent. If their authentic style of community
organizing could be matched with the self-awareness, mindfulness and compassion
practices of meditation, it could revolutionize how thy affect social change.
Peace Revolution works to support young women to become
self empowered and impact their homes, families and communities by
strengthening their personal growth through meditation and self-development as
well as promoting women's rights.
Are you a female leader who is actively involved in
social work and have the passion for social change? Do you want to reveal
your inner power and qualities to pursue your goals and dreams for yourself,
your community and your country? Then this Fellowship is for YOU!!
Heya Fellowship will be the first of its kind in the
region to empower women through inner transformation which will eventually lead
to community transformation.
Peace Revolution offers you this opportunity to
peacefully co-exist with extraordinary fellow female leaders from Arab
countries to network, live together, empower yourself and others.
